Another day, another article in which we share with you a coupon code to knock a few dollars off the regular price of a smart device. We not only want to present informative articles to you but also make sure that you get the best deals out there. Today we shall talk about the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 – a heart rate monitoring smart wristband.

The market of wearable tech seems to be growing with each day and if you are not sure if this is your thing but still want to try it out without spending too much money, we have a solution for you. You can now use a coupon code which will decrease the price of one such smart bracelet from our friends at GearBest. The coupon code you should use is “GBSMWT”. And let us now move on to the more important specifications.

Hardware

Unlike most cheap smart bracelets, this particular one has an OLED touchscreen display which makes operating with this device really easy. Additionally, the band’s material is TPU and it holds the actual elliptical module. The latter is what really interests us. It holds several chips whose operation is crucial for the wristband’s performance.

As you may see from the image above, the small module contains a speed and heart rate sensor responsible for the fitness capabilities of this little fellow. Of course, there is a Bluetooth 4.0 chip because you need to have it connected to a smartphone somehow. Additionally, there is a 70mAh battery which, according to the manufacturer, ensures up to 20 days of standby time, and charges for 3 hours. Last but not least, this affordable product is also IP67 certified which means that it’s waterproof and you don’t have to worry about it when it’s raining or when you’re washing your hands.

Software features

Now this is just as important as the hardware. Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is obviously targeted at people who are into sports and want to have more information about their activity. The wristband offers a heart rate monitor, sleeping monitoring (effective sleeping time and motions time every night), as well as sport activity tracking (steps made, distance, consumed calories, and others).

What’s more, the wristband will notify you of any incoming calls or messages. To have access to all of these functions, you can download the “MI FIT” app from the App Store or the Google Play Store. For more information or to purchase, you can click HERE.
